Hilmar and Turlock High's varsity girls' soccer teams had outstanding seasons during the 2016-17 campaign that saw each win a league title and earn postseason berths, and Emily Vieira (Hilmar) and Daisy Martinez (Turlock) were big reasons why their teams succeeded.

Turlock's varsity softball team is aiming to have a breakout season by the team's expectations, however, they must quickly forget their 8-2 loss to Manteca High in their second home preseason contest on Thursday.

It's official. Hilmar High has their first varsity boys' volleyball team after football head coach Frank Marques made the push in the fall towards beginning a new era in spring sports for the Yellowjackets.

Speculation rose on Wednesday that Colin Kaepernick would become a free agent for the first time in his NFL career after a source told NFL insider Adam Schefter that Kapernick plans on opting out of the final season of this contract.

Cody and Justin Rentfro are brothers and wrestlers at Hilmar High. But they aren't just your typical athletic bunch, they are California state qualifiers and both are heading to one of the toughest high school wrestling tournaments in the country.

By the end of the tournament 10 wrestlers had qualified and will advance to the prestigious California State Wrestling Tournament starting March 3.
